    I suggest using the cleaning methods above. If you're in a pinch and don't have the appropriate cleaners, window cleaner, like Windex, will work. Just make sure to clean the stainless steel with warm water and soap afterwards!

    I have a new stainless steel sink in my apartment that is cheap and the finish on the "rim" where the faucets are is rough and has a whitish film. Is there any treatment to fix this?

    Wrap a paper towel around the faucet and pour vinegar onto it and let it set for an hour, the take a toothbrush and scrub it off. It should be easy. Then rinse with water and dry with a clean cloth.

    You could use lemon oil, which is used to polish furniture. Rub It in going with the grain of the metal. Not only will it make your sink shiny, but it will help it repel water spots.

    I've been using this product for years. If you clean in the direction of the 'grain', it works very well.
